Why choose this New Orleans tour ?
This is the only tour that focuses on the heart of New Orleans – Jackson Square! There are so many stories to tell in this one iconic block. At first a gathering place for Native Americans, then a tiny French outpost, the Square holds the collective memories of all the people who have made this diverse city what it is today. Choctaw, French, African, Spanish, American, Italian, Vietnamese, Caribbean, and more have contributed to the Creole culture that makes this place unlike any other. We are passionate about this city and we love telling our stories.
Today, the Square is a community gathering place as well as the best place to see and buy great art, eat great food, and hear authentic jazz played by multi-generation musicians.
This tour covers a very small area and the Square has lots of benches, so it is particularly suited to anyone with limited mobility (or simply on a hot day!). Since it is only 45 minutes, you can squeeze it in among the rest of your New Orleans itinerary.

What makes 45 minutes in Jackson Square a unique experience ?
Your local guide will take you on a journey of a thousand years and countless moments in history without leaving a one-square-block area! Jackson Square is the beating heart of New Orleans, landscaped and tropical, flanked by stunning and iconic 18th and 19th Century buildings, filled with the sounds of jazz and cathedral bells, swirling with art, nature, music, and the bustle of the city and the nearby Mississippi River.
We will tell you the stories of the Square, the Pontalba Buildings, the St. Louis Cathedral, and the Louisiana State Museums. We divide our 45 minutes in the square into the four corners of this park, so you can see it from every beautiful angle! This tour is perfectly suited for travelers with mobility issues, as we cover a very small area and there are lots of benches in the Square.
